Yin & Yang
I think this random photo (by Thereza) captures the different natures of my two dogs rather well...

At Last, Google Plussed...
Great news: Google+ finally supports domain accounts. That means I can use Google+ as "fuka@fuxoft.cz" (which is my main Google account) and stop using my temporary "@gmail.com" account.
Bad news: Everyone who had me in his circles has to add me again. My Google+ profile is now at plus.fuxoft.cz.
In a short time, I will also migrate my "Recent interesting links" over there and make it my main "activity stream". Great thing is you can view it even if you don't have Google account yourself.
Word of caution for Android people: Google+ app DOES NOT yet work with the domain accounts! According to Google product manager, "it will work in a few days". Meanwhile, you can use "plus.google.com" address in your browser, it works fairly well as a temporary measure.
Also, Latitude check-ins seem to star working for my domain account, as well as +1 buttons. Great. Now back to work...

Party like it's 2011
Our friend had a big birthday party where the guests were supposed to come dressed as cowboys. That led us to a movie idea which was brilliantly executed mostly by Hanka:
If you don't get it, our backs are the giveaway.
And the dogs - while not exactly thematic - played along, too.

RetroVirus255: A game where you have to read the instructions first
I always liked "hack'n'slash" mini-RPGs, where you could pop in for a few minutes, play a level or two, and then forget about it.
I always disliked the RPG games where you could gain significant rewards just by semi-randomly clicking on nearby enemies, with occassional pause to auto-heal.
That's why I created RetroVirus255 game. If you just start playing blindly and clicking in enemies, you will be dead in a few seconds.
It's a cross betwen RPG and puzzle game, because the combat is deterministic - it has no random elements at all.
Unfortunately, it has some some social elements and you have to be on Facebook to play it. Go here to try it out.

Google Love
There was fairly prominent ad campaign by Google Czech Republic, called "Life is a Search". It showed how Google Search (and other Google services) help two people fall in love (UPDATE: It was based on this original U.S. ad).
Well, this happened to me for real (after a year or so of being single). It all started with this photo of her and Chucky, taken using her Android phone several months ago, when we first met:
It seems everything went better than expected. In fact, the dogs actually want to be there every time Hanka is playing.
Now it just remains to be seen how the dogs react to Muf, her pet rabbit...
P.S: Hanka can now boast to her musical colleagues that she is dating Václav Fuka's son. My father is relatively famous double bass player, composer and teacher (Ondřej Soukup studied under him).

Afterwards, we occassionally kept in touch online and we thoroughly googled each other. For example I found this:
Only after we both (independently of each other) joined Google Plus, things started to heat up:
Works in Pilsen, huh? Just in time, Google Navigation for my Android phone became available in the Czech Republic...
And then it happened, rather quickly and somehow unexpectedly...
However, the most burning question remained: How would the dogs react to the sound of violin playing?

Custom-Made Android T-Shirt, Wow!
Today, I was interviewed for GUG.tv (Google Users Group TV) and got a surprising present from geekshop.cz: A custom-made T-shirt!
This is obviously based on this famous (mass-produced) T-shirt. Note the (almost succesful) attempt to get my dogs' likenesses right!
And while we are on the subject of T-shirts: On May 28, there is a big "Computer celebration day" event at Alza shop in Holesovice. As a part of this event, 8-bit Sinclair museum will get its grand opening and there will be some 8-bit T-shirts available, "designed" by me. One example:
As for the price / means of availability of these, I have no info yet.
UPDATE: You can buy them here!
